Looking at Cheetah's Rake (Ranger 17), but it's a general question:
If an effect lasts "until the end of your next turn", does that mean the person affected can do nothing about it? i.e, I use CR and knock the ogre prone. The ogre's initiative comes up. As I read it, he *cannot* attempt to stand because my next turn hasn't come yet. Correct?
After my next turn ends, is he automatically no longer prone, or does he need to use an action on his turn to stand?
If I die between when I apply Cheetah's Rake and when the ogre's turn comes up, is the effect ended? Does it end on my death, or on his turn? i.e:
round 1:
Initiative count 20: I use CR on the ogre.
Initiative count 18: I am slain by the ogre's ally! Woe!
Initiative count 15: The ogre's turn. Is he:
a)Automatically no longer prone?
b)Prone, but can stand normally?
c)Prone, and cannot stand until Initiative 20 of Round 2, when my "next turn" would have ended?
(Also, can I choose to delay my action in round 2 to, say, initiative count 1, so as to drag out how long the ogre is prone and give everyone a chance to wail on his sorry ass?)
Is there a general rule for ongoing effects which are not (save ends) WRT when the source of the effect dies? Does it matter if the effect is arcane, divine, or martial?
